Awright, guys, help a brotha out here.

I'm trying to assemble a current, up-to-date list of Elvis Impersonators in 25mm-28mm.

CURRENTLY IN MY POSSESSION:
Ral Partha, "King Of The Bards"
Kitbashed "Viva Lost Wages" (modified HeroClix Doc Sampson, with white cape and orange feather boa added)

I also seem to recall that Hasslefree either makes or is about to release an Elvis impersonator.

What others are out there? What contacts will I need to make to complete my evil army of Elvii?

Steve Flanagan09 Apr 2008 5:45 a.m. PST

Hasslefree Bubba

There was one in the Shockforce range, part of the Rednecks line.

And, as I've argued before, if Elvis is Latin, the plural should be Elvites; if it is English, it should be Elvese.

RAFM do a couple in their 'modern heroes (?)' line.

jpattern209 Apr 2008 6:57 a.m. PST

Yep, RAFM do three Pretenders so far: link

Those plus the RP and Hasslefree are the only Elvis minis I'm aware of.

I'd really like to see a young Elvis with guitar, black leather jumpsuit, and a machine pistol.

How about Army Elvis in uniform?

And if you really like the idea of Elvis with guns, you should read Jack Yeovil's "Comeback Tour:: link

Army Elvis in Uniform, at 25mm, would look like any other figure in army uniform.

Figures. My work blocks RAFM. Gonna have to check that when I get home…

Also have a look at Alionas Minaturen's Court Elves:

All quiff and falred jumpsuits – especially the assassin at the top.

That's "quiffs and flared jumpsuits," sorry.

Doctor Bedlam09 Apr 2008 9:07 a.m. PST

Oh, wow.

Elvish impersonators!

Army Elvis in Uniform, at 25mm, would look like any other figure in army uniform.

Not if the Army let him keep his hair: link

(I didn't say it had to be a historically accurate mini. Heh!) And then there's that great lip-curled half-sneer . . .

And it would have to be 28mm, not 25mm, to fit in with all the other Elvi.

Black Tree design has the old Harlequin 'D'Elvis' in one of te dwarf ranges. Sculpted by Kev White of Hasslefree in the nineties. I converted the fantasy axe in a modern one see pic here:

I know that there's also a Zombie Elvis. You gotta have that one too! :)

Doctor Bedlam09 Apr 2008 5:08 p.m. PST

I actually made one. Half of one. He's sitting behind the wheel of his Pink Cadillac convertible; he's largely terrain, since he doesn't remember how to drive, and can't operate the seat belt to get OUT…

coggon09 Apr 2008 5:31 p.m. PST

There's also a Westwind Werewolf Elvis

Cold Wars has a zombie Elvis impersonator. He's awfully thin though (definitely not the later years).
